North Dakota counties and cities are creatures of statute, which means their actions are limited by laws and ordinances. It is imperative that the governing bodies and officials understand these limitations. Each county and city enjoys different opportunities and each one faces different challenges. Sound legal counsel aids governing bodies in making decisions to exploit opportunities and overcome challenges in a sound, legal manner. Our attorneys have served in various capacities at the county and city level, including as retained counsel and as elected officials. Our office currently serves as the city attorney for Alexander, Arnegard, and Epping and as attorney for the zoning boards of Dunn County and McKenzie County. One of our attorneys is also the deputy states attorney for Dunn County. Our partners have a combined 50+ years experience as the elected states attorneys in McKenzie County (Dennis Johnson, 1982-2013) and Dunn County (Ross Sundeen, 1996-2014).
